My real estate tax bill should be paid by my bank or mortgage company. I received the tax bill in the mail directly from the City. What should I do?
The City receives lists from banks and mortgage companies in April and May requesting bills for the July payments. If a bank does not request your bill, it will be sent directly to you.

If you receive your tax bill, immediately contact your bank or mortgage company for instructions on where you should send the tax bill. The address may be printed in your mortgage payment coupon book.

After you have the information, make a copy of your bill, circle the dollar amount of the real estate payment due, write your loan number on it, and immediately forward it to your escrow agent or mortgage company. Additional instructions may be available on your bank or mortgage company's website.
